   This evening at Liberty Lake the feature was a big flight of swans and a greater variety of ducks. I was there about 3:30 to 4:45 PM.

Canada Goose  375
Tundra Swan  475, mostly 3 large flocks, highflyers going SE, 6 on the lake were put up by a boat
Wood Duck  1 male, Baltimore only
Black Duck  22
Mallard  105
Green-winged Teal  1, Baltimore only
Hooded Merganser  13
Common Merganser  14
Ruddy Duck  2, Baltimore only
Common Loon  1, Baltimore only
Pied-billed Grebe  2, Baltimore only
Great Blue Heron  7, flying over together very high headed SE
Bald Eagle  2 immatures
Bonaparte's Gull  12
Ring-billed Gull  400, and more coming in at sunset
Kingfisher  1, Carroll only

After leaving the lake I could see at least 50 vultures in the roost on Mineral Hill Road.
